Luton Town are in EFL Trophy action against Barnet this evening, the first time they have featured in the competition since December 2018.
Then, the Hatters took on Southend United at Kenilworth Road in a second round tie. Midfielder Arthur Read put the hosts in front on 81 minutes, only for the Shrimpers to level in the closing stages when Stephen McLaughlin’s shot deflected in off Dan Potts. Town then lost 4-2 on penalties, but to find out who lined up for Luton on that night, see below.
13. Used sub: Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu
Club legend came on for goalscorer Read with five minutes left of the tie, one of his 10 outings in the competition. Famously went from non-league to the Premier League with the one team, the only player to do that so far, as he ended his decade-long stint at Kenilworth Road in the summer, moving to Cambridge United on a free transfer.

14. Manager: Nathan Jones
Manager was in charge of the Hatters for the tie, although controversially left a few months later to take over at Stoke City. Came back to Kenilworth Road and steered Luton to Championship safety, as he then went to Southampton, while is now in the dug-out for Charlton Athletic, leading the Addicks to the Championship via the play-offs last term.
